Shopify or WooCommerce: which is right for your shop?

Both Shopify and WooCommerce can run a great online store. The right choice depends on how you work.

Shopify: simple and hosted

Shopify takes care of hosting, security and updates for you, so it is quick to start and easy to run. You pay a monthly plan and some extras, and you work inside its system.

WooCommerce: flexible and yours

WooCommerce is a free plugin for WordPress. You choose the hosting, you own everything, and you can customise almost anything. It needs a little more care with updates and security.

How to choose

• Want the easiest start with little upkeep? Shopify
• Already have a WordPress website, or need custom features? WooCommerce
• Selling a few products with simple needs? Either works
• Complex rules, memberships or bookings? WooCommerce, or a custom build
